Four teens accused in strong-armed robbery in Edgefield


web posted July 14, 2009
EDGEFIELD – Edgefield Police were called to a strong-armed robbery around 1 pm Monday afternoon on Simpkins Street as a 17-year-old teen was leaving the Edgefield Library back parking lot. According to the victim, a carload of other teens drove up and one jumped from the car and started attacking him.

As the teen tried to back away and flee the attack, one of the teens jumped into his car and continued to strike him, causing the victim to lose control of his car which nearly collided into the wall of the new Barristers Coffee Shop across the street (above). Others joined the attack and stole the victim’s wallet, drivers license, and almost $100 in cash.

The four teens, all said to be black males and also 17-years-old, fled the scene up the ally next to the library and disappeared on the town square, leaving their car behind, when a nearby Sheriff’s Deputy arrived on the scene.

As the investigation continued police were able to obtain the identity of two of the suspects and were seeking to identify the other two. Two of the suspected were described as wearing a purple shirt and blue jean shorts and a second was said to be wearing a white t-shirt. No other information was available on the other two involved.

The victim had bloodstains on his shirt he said came from a bloody nose caused in the altercation. 

The mother of one of the suspects arrived and said her son was supposed to take her car and get some gas for her. She was cooperating with police and the car the four suspects were driving was released to her at the scene. Found in the back seat of the car was baseball bats (left), though none were allegedly used in the attack.

The case is currently under investigation.
